Sandnes Garn Tynn Peer Gynt

Peer Gynt has been on the market since 1938. Due to its unique structure, the yarn is excellent for knitting sweaters. Peer Gynt is still as popular today as it was back then. In the fall of 2022, we launched a thinner version of the exact same yarn with the same great properties. Garments made from Norwegian wool feel light and warm. They become even softer after each wear. Norwegian wool is durable and resistant to pilling. It ensures that the garments always look good and retain their shape for a long time. Be mindful of the environment: wool is breathable and rarely needs to be washed. Instead, we recommend airing out the garment well. Norwegian wool garments have a long lifespan. They maintain their beauty even across generations. This means that Norwegian wool contributes to sustainable consumption.

The same fiber is used for both Peer Gynt and Tynn Peer Gynt, produced in different thicknesses – Tynn Peer Gynt is 3-ply twisted, while Peer Gynt is 4-ply.

There is a pattern booklet for Tynn Peer Gynt from Sandnes Garn, No. 2212.

Material: 100% Norwegian wool

Origin of the wool: Norway

• Yardage: Approximately 205 meters per 50 grams

Note: For machine washing, we recommend washing all wool items separately on a wool wash program to treat them as gently as possible. Spin gently and dry the garment flat, preferably lying on a towel. Never wash hand-knitted items in a laundry net/bag, as this causes friction that can lead to felting.
